2016-01-18T03:00:07Z ERROR The host name dc1-ipa-dev-nvan.mydomain.net does not match the primary host name dc1-ipa-dev-nvan.mydomain.net.mydomain.net. Please check /etc/hosts or DNS name resolution

So 3 questions :
1)Why does it first check if my hostname is ok, and then check if my hostname matches this other host, and why is it referring to the other remote host as localhost ?
2)Where in the world is it getting the idea that the primary hostname for my host is actually the primary hostname for the other host in a strange format with the domain name on the end twice ?
3)are there any workarounds for this?  It seems rather buggy.  I have triple checked hostnames on both hosts referenced in that log entry

Here is the output that proves that my hostname is fine and not ending with a double domain

[root at dc2-ipa-dev-van ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
10.21.0.98      dc2-ipa-dev-van.mydomain.net
[root at dc2-ipa-dev-van ~]# cat /etc/hostname
dc2-ipa-dev-van.mydomain.net
[root at dc2-ipa-dev-van ~]# hostname
dc2-ipa-dev-van.mydomain.net

and on the other host :

[root at dc1-ipa-dev-nvan ~]# hostname
dc1-ipa-dev-nvan.mydomain.net
[root at dc1-ipa-dev-nvan ~]# cat /etc/hostname
dc1-ipa-dev-nvan.mydomain.net
[root at dc1-ipa-dev-nvan ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
10.178.0.99 dc1-ipa-dev-nvan.mydomain.net
[root at dc1-ipa-dev-nvan ~]#
